It's called acting out. Imagine if you were ripped from the only home you knew. If you weren't on board, your mother did a disservice to them. They need to know they're loved, not that they're disposable.
Are you looking to adopt from foster care? I believe most older kids that are adoptable have been in foster care. They'll have issues. You need to be sure you and your wife can deal with these. You may want to look into respite to get your toes wet. Good luck!
I would say start by saying not all families are related biologically. Not sure about the sexual predator part. Good luck.
2.5 months. I was certified in July and got my first placement mid-September.
I'm not sure what state you're in but you should have received a letter stating the case was unfounded/unsubstantiated and closed. If that hasn't happened, you may have to write to the head of whatever agency handles this.
you don't say but are you open to foster/adopting or adopting a legally free child? He/she probably won't be an infant.
OK. First, since he's in foster care, odds are he has some type of anxiety. If there's a family history, his may be on a larger scale. Stimulants are not helping. at all. What are the other meds for? Fight and see if you can put him on a non-stimulant anti-anxiety med. I had to beg a "child professional" 3 times for my kid. The change was immediate. Liquid vitamin B works but the taste is horrible. Also, try essential oils for relaxation. Good luck!
